Helm of the Host usage

Helm of the Host usage in EDH.

I play a Nekusar that is based off dealing damage off wheels and not and creature damage. If i attach a Helm of the Host to Nekusar, and never attack with any creatures, do i technically go to combat, and activate its triggered effect? Am I able to make a nekusar token (or any other card draw creature) if i never swing at an opponent?

Yes, you still have a combat phase if you attack or not, token will be created at the start of combat phase.
